Tuesday, May 5, 1914 IVY DAY CALL8.'" Tomorrow is Ivy Day. This day is perhaps tho only one which in auy way approaches being an all-Univer sity ovent. Ivy Day is a holiday but inTollflay wltlr nrpurposo. Tho Uni versity of Nebraska lacks, perhaps more than anything olse, tradition. EaBtorn schools have traditions hand ed down to them for generations. It Is ono of tho most powerful factors of student life, welding together the di versified interests of many into a com mon interest of their college. Ivy Day stands first in Nebraska tradition. LvyDayJs the day of days for every body. Too often Btudents consider Ivy Day as a holiday to rank with Saturdays and Sundays, a day of no classes, no leBsons, no University duties. They take advantago of tho vacation to fur ther their own particular o,nds, por haps knowingly, and perhaps unknow ingly, disregarding tho purpose of yacatlon. Wo are given leavo of ab sence tomorrow to join in tho spirit - of tho day It la Jiot given as an op portunity to mako up back work or prepare future, lossons. Everyone should realize that Ivy Day is not a senior event, it is not an Innqcont and Black Masquo party, it is not for any one or several organizations; it is for everybody It is the ono day we can all got together. It is tho ono day wo - all Jiavo a common interest, a common loyalty-and devotion to old Uebraska Ivy Day calls you, Nebraskan, to do her homage on this traditional day. Will you answer? -Mechanical-Engfneers-Entertained- The sophomores of the College of Mechanical Engineering wore enter- talned last Saturday evening at tho home of Prof. J. D. Hoffman. Music and refreshments constituted tho pro- 'gram and everyone thoroughly en- Joyed himself. MM WASH WHITE TUB 4 BUDD, 1415 The Forum To Edltpr Dally Nebraskan: When In tho course of human events It becomes necessary for ono people to dissolve' tho political bonds which linvo connected them with another, and to assume among tho powers of tho oarth the separato and equal sta tion to" AVhlch tho laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, it be comes necessary that- theyeBtabJifih institutions and customs of tholr own. In following this natural course of evonts our ancestors chose a flag of thirteen stripcB ind thirteen stars, which to them was typical of all that they believed and wore willing to dlo for. Some twenty yealrs later tho young men of this country fought for and established the fact that there was upon tho continent of North America a nation whoso citizens and flag ex pected and thereafter would demand '11tl'' - hftnn'! - Jin'1 - R"1"lna eivnn ))V ono nation to its equal or superior, but never again would this now American nation bo content with an Inferior placo among the nations of the world. Fivo times tho young mon of this country camo forward and by their strength and the vitality of the nation which they represented established tho principles for which they fought. Our nation changed from a more strip of territory along the Atlantic until it reached from sea to sea, and Its citi zens by right could look back proudly upon that which their ancestors had accomplished. From wilderness and desert had come forth a nation, cities -had boon, built, .rivers bridged and dammed, factories established and railroads built. But today a chance Is seen, no longer may wo as citizens permit our children to bo deceived. Wo employ teachers whoso only duty seems to bo tho destruction of all patriotic feel ing. Our children aro taught that tho men who fought In tyie Revolutionary War were ignorant and aro told that Georgo Washington, far from being a hero, was a man of poor reputation in his homo county of Virginia, and that tho Mexican War was simply a war for tho acquisition of fertile territory, and that in it tho United States played the part of tho bully. That tho hero who fought In the Civil War Is only a degenerate pension hunter, and that tho Spanish-American War waB fought over a small matter which could easily havo been arbitrated. Our universities aro dominated by a class who seek to Impress upon all their students that one can hardly ex pect to bo considered educated who has only attended such meager and insignificant institutions as the uni versities of tho United States and that true education can only bo secured In tho universities of Germany or France. -Gentlemen of tho University of Ne braska: Is your patriotism doad that Insults to our flag and tho murder of our cltl- .aonglg.Jnnlrpf1.npnn ho oppUy7 Is it true that conditions haw changed since J898 and that the Sen- ate of our University would not take as patriotic action as it did in those days of stress? As Americans will you tolerate any furthor Gormanlzatlon of this, our University? A PATRIOT. 25c TIES O STREET KAN8A8 TEAM WIN8 (Continued from Page One) boat work. As predicted, Stoney and Doodlo brough down in the bacon in tho polo vault. It's a cinch that these two follows, Captain Reavls and Lind strum, aro tho greatest pair of vaul.t ors In tho west. Tho broad Jump was won by Reese. Hazen of Kansas won. second from Reavls of Nebraska by only half an inch. Hazen's leap was 20 feet 3 Inches, whlio Reavls went 20 feet 2 inches. Myers of Nebraska won tne higlrjuniinvltlrn: bop of Hve feet nine and one-half Inches. It seems a shame that we cannot scare up another high Jumper, as wo simply handed over three points hero with out fighting for it. The shot put proved 'a bit of a disappointment to tho Nebraska men. Myers had a put good for at least second placo which was lost because of "Sevon" stepping out of tho ring. In tho discus a new Nebraska record was made. Tho ven erable Charles Myers threw the saucer ono hundred twenty-five feet and six inches. This is six feot better than his throw in tho MIbsouH Valley games at St. Louis last spring. Coach Reed ex pects the York boy to break his own record yet this Beason. Out of tho flvo field events, where a possible forty points rests, tho Nobraska team won 8 in tho pole vault, 5 in tho broad Jump, 5 in tho high jump and 5 in the discus, a total of 23 of tho possible forty. This without any points in the shot, where we should havo scored .at .least three more points. In tho two hurdle races Nebraska scored only three points when "Stoney" Lind- strum won second in tho highs. To summarize: Nebraska won 5 points in the hundred, and four-forty, three points in the high hurdlesr the 220, and two miles, making 19 points from the field.
